    I grew up in Portland and was sad to hear when Drazen died. Man, the Blazers always got rid of good players and he was one of them. We passed on Michael Jordan, Kevin Durant, everyone leaves and gets to the Finals. Drazen ate the league up with the Nets. Man we lost a legend.

I belive he make jordan look an avarege on those games than. the only reason Croatia couldn`t beat dream team was that the rest of Croatian team exept Drazen, gived up before the match started....Drazen was a true`Gladiator`......he trays to beat dream team on his own......

      there was 3 big schools of basketball in world before The Cold War ended, USA(West block), SSSR(East block) and YUGOSLAVIA (Independent block). After the SSSR and Yugoslavia fall apart imidiatelly was shown were in those ex countries were the focus of talents. In SSSR that was Lhituania and in Yugoslavia it was Croatia. Unfortunatelly in Serbia there was more good coaches and in Croatia there was more talented players. So after end of that last Yugoslavian generation in Croatia basketball stop to be popular (everybody wants to play soccer,handball or waterpolo and in Serbia good coaches continued to make good teams and in Croatia there was only pure talent players. So that is way today Croatia has 6-7 players in NBA and we suck at national team...

    Great player! As a young Cavs fan, it always seemed like Dražen Petrović played harder against Cleveland in the early 90s. In fact, three Cavaliers (Brad Daugherty, Mark Price, and Larry Nance) took up roster spots in the NBA All-Star Game in 1993 and coaches left out Petrović. It seemed like he resented that.

    Dražen really was like a damn pop star here in Croatia, Yugoslavia back then. His popularity exceeded WAAAAY out of normal athletes. Way out.
    Actually beside him, I know only one another athlete that was that loved all over Yugoslavia, and thats also late boxer Mate Parlov.
    Perhaps, only perhaps, football player Dragan Piksi Stojković was close also. But than again, the mere fact that he came from football says he wasnt loved that much and without any hesitation across whole country. Since football is really something different here, something that brings an ocean of emotions, so, him playing for Red Star is just too big of an obstacle to be loved by the supporters of Hajduk, Partizan, Dinamo etc.
    Dražen Petrović and Mate Parlov, (Dražen being more popular) were only two guys loved all across Yugoslavia.
    I was 13 when Dražen died, and I, as a kid that young, on top of that one who didnt liked basketball that much, remember also exactly where I was and all that sorrow, shock, and unbelievement all over the country.
    Life flies by captain,

    Older generation of Croatian basketball players had commitment to give back something to nation. But newer generation, not so much. Yes, its nice thing to have many Croatian players in NBA, but that's nice only for them. It's blame and shame how national team played in last 20 years on each and every competition. Each player has own goals considering his career, don't give too much fuck about national team. And I'm not talking about playing for national team, I'm talking about effort while playing for national team.

    Great video about basketball in Croatia, just one thing you missed, no mention of Bojan Bogdanović, by far the best Croatian player of the 21st century (for sure better than Dario Šarić) and his playing style is much more similar to Dražen Petrović. Šarić is more of an all around type of player ( even though he is not elite in any of these categories he can rebound, he can pass, he can shoot and is a big hustler, he is kind of a glue guy for the team who can do a bit of everything and always gives 100%) while Bogdanović is a great scorer (just like Dražen was) and is a 3 point sniper (just like Dražen was).

    • @MKPolovanec
      @MKPolovanec 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It's not that they are comparing them, they are merely drawing some paralels since they were born in the same city and Dario's father was Drazen's teammate. Also Drazen opened the door of NBA for Dario and other European players.

      I believe it was because he was behind Clyde Drexler if I’m not mistaken. Another legend. So, yes, Portland didn’t know how to use him because they didn’t have room for him. Didn’t Drazen come in the Buck Williams trade?
